Anyone seen this game...? πŸ™

It can't be true... a terrible ref and a terrible substitution... Cruijf called it the best match of the tournament so far, but OMG, how could this have happened? :'(

It was a great football game between two brilliant attacking teams. Holland messed up tactically towards the end though, just like Italy did against Sweden yesterday. Why don't they just keep their best players on the field?

How could it have happened?Simple,first Mr Gonzales suffered from temporary blindness when Ruud got run over in the box then it happened again when he was pulled down,then he saw things that weren't there when Nedved stumbled over his own feet,next 'the little general' decided it would be a good idea to take the best player,Robben,of the field.Add to all this a little misfortune with Holland's attempts on goal and you get a 2-3 loss.
Too bad,but it was indeed a great game.

Nothing more than facts...I thought that it was Nedved who commited the foul, next thing I saw that John was walking off the pitch... now we're relying on the Czech and the Germans... man... πŸ™ I don't know if you could see Dick in an interview with Jack van Gelder on Belgian TV, but he explained that he thought 60 minutes of play was enough for Arjan, who hadn't played in game in months and that he needed an extra man on the middle field, Bosvelt, who's job it was to control Pavel, well... you can't say that worked out well...

It should have been a draw from what I saw. The dutch guy shouldn't have been sent off but they seemed to play better for most of the
game.

Don't worry Olav, on current performances the Czechs will beat Germany. Nedved is some player, the Dutch were unlucky in that a draw would be a fair result of a game like that.

Nedved told Galasek, who is a key player in Ajax, that he won't be playing against Germany, scince they are already certain of the quarter finals... πŸ™ So I can only hope...

Ya!That's the problem for the Dutch,the Czech will play with some sort of B-squad against the Germans.Let's hope they at least manage a tie.
Dick can say what he wants,Robben was the best player on the field and he was far from tired.Taking him off was a huge mistake!

Next time I blunder my queen I'll say she wasn't fit enough to play an entire game πŸ™„

A great match. The best in the championship so far!
But do we get from it? Absolutely nothing!!
I prefer an ugly win over a great loss anyday (in soccer that is).

Pessimistic as I am, i fear the germans losing but Holland forgetting to win wednesday.
